Financial Education Week! Students of a lyceum in Chisinau acting as experts and employees of Victoriabank

Between March 27 and April 2, the employees of Victoriabank and the little experts from “Vasile Vasilache” theoretical lyceum shared information on the value of money, savings management, origin of the national currency, famous people on banknotes and many other educational information in order to familiarize children with the notion of money, bank, saving and other aspects of financial literacy. Thus, during the International Financial Education Week, an annual global event, coordinated by the National Bank of Moldova and Child and Youth Finance International (CYFI) organisation, Victoriabank offered children the chance not only to attend the classes and study the theory, but also benefit from a great practical training: see and even use a cash counting machine, contemplate a bank card, being involved in discussions about its benefits or admire a commemorative coin issued by the NBM.

Victoriabank offered holiday gifts to children from Chisinau Municipal Orphanage

Winter holidays are the most awaited by children and every child hopes to find a gift under the Christmas tree. The employees of VICTORIABANK made the holiday special for the little children of Chisinau municipal orphanage. They brought them sweets, fruits, clothes, books and toys. The car full of gifts reached the destination just when the celebration had begun. Children were singing Christmas carols, reciting poems and dancing, brining light and joy to the souls of all who were present. VICTORIABANK initiates such charitable actions every year in order to offer children a home-like holiday.

Financial Education Week! A group of children have learned from Victoriabank employees what money is.

Victoriabank has always considered involvement in cultural and social activities of the community as one of its priorities. During the period of March 14-20, within the International Financial Education Week, which aims at teaching children and youth how to manage, save and multiply their money, as well as perform financial inclusion of students, Victoriabank organized a surprise event for a group of 28 children aged 5-7. Children visited the Victoriabank’s headquarters, where bank employees told them about the origin of money, the symbols and the value of the national currency, as well as about the most innovative means of keeping and managing money - bank cards. Interactive activities based on questions and answers had a positive effect on children’s perception of money and importance of money. At the end of the guided tour, the little guests were offered gifts from Victoriabank.

On February 27, 2016, the HOSPICE Angelus Table Tennis Tournament was held, a charitable event for incurable patients, children and adults, with diseases in advanced and terminal stages. Bank employees evolved as tennis players alongside other companies, non-governmental organizations and embassies in the Republic of Moldova. Thus, the amount collected during the event will be directed to provide free medical, social and psycho-emotional care services within the Hospice Angelus. Victoriabank has always considered the involvement in social responsibility activities and projects as one of its main missions.
